Ode to Granite

I found a pretty rock named granite
Shiny black, white and gray
Few people actually try to understand it
Though they see it everyday

For years it has sat out in the yard
It lay there staring up at the sky
Although time has left its face marred
It waits to be discovered as the days go by

The granite consists of mica, quartz and other rocks
Some parts are shiny, and some are not
Flakes of black make it look like it has pox
This all formed when it was very hot

Now that this stone has been found
Many places it is bound.

Thanks biggrin I love the poem too. ^.^ one of the best I've ever done.
